About this map

The Texas-Louisiana border divides this 1962 survey, where the settlements of Panola and Bethany anchor a landscape defined by small rural institutions and resource extraction. Several congregations are documented across the state line, including Mt Zion Ch, Antioch Ch, and the distinctively named Do Right Ch, alongside De Berry Sch and several family burial grounds like Jernigan Cem.

Transport and industry patterns are evident through an Old Railroad Grade and a concentration of Oil Wells and a Compressor Station near the border. The physical geography is dominated by the drainage systems of Socagee Creek and Boggy Bayou, with the Lakeland Farm Lake positioned in the northeastern corner. These features reflect a mid-century period when rural community life and the oil-and-gas industry were closely intertwined along the interstate boundary.
